CS:GO Failure, Valorant God: The Rise, Fall and Rise Again of TenZ
Vložit

- Tyson ‘TenZ’ Ngo is arguably the best Valorant player alive.
But TenZ wasn’t always the dominant force he is today. Before being heralded as a god of Valorant, TenZ was a failed Counter Strike prodigy.
He had all the raw talent and ability to become a star in that esport, but when his big break finally arrived, he just didn’t materialize into the generational talent fans were expecting.
Suddenly the words choker, overhyped and overrated began to attach themselves to TenZ.
And to some, It looked like he might not be as talented as his potential had suggested.
But just on the horizon was a second chance at greatness, one TenZ couldn’t afford to squander. Valorant.

such a good vid bro keep it up
shut up all of this are trash if real pros join tenz who? no one will remember him in no time if ask which pros example is s1mple, kennyS then who is wardell the noob boy?

a tenz vid will never be complete without "THIS IS HIS WORLD AND WERE JUST LIVING IN IT"
there r some better players tho
@@gadirjabili3412 Its like there are a few at top you cant compare but tenz is diff one of the best I guess shaz asuna but would say tenz better tbh but you can't compare them bcs there is so much to consider like if a gun lets say op then I would say shaz is better and asuna like map averance
@@gadirjabili3412 yeah but it doesn’t matter how good he is, they just need very good players and win and win!
@@gadirjabili3412 so what I’m basically saying is that it doesn’t matter hwo good the players are it matters how good the team chemistry is and how good the aim and comms are
@@t.o.k.y.o1 yes. U need all that to win. But if we are talking individual mechanical game mechanics like aim and utility usage, tenz is just a god. Its like his crosshair is always locked into someones head.

@@blockmanufacturer714 Gamer, Harry are you.
Tenz didn’t fail us, we failed Tenz. Instead of supporting him, we ran him with bad expectations knowing he was a new insane player to the pro scenes expecting so much out of one person.
Tenz was literally to lazy to practice in CS. He only succeded in a game against other failures.
No. When he was still a cs pro he's knownfor blaming anything else from his teammates to his mouse, from the meta to his resolution. He also spent most of his time playing bot maps for clips instead of playing the actual game. He got called out by quite a few pros like stewie and astralis players.

"The Sine Curve of TenZ"
damn this is like a whole documentary film of TenZ
it is
Tru
wtfk are u even tryna say lmfao
A whole ass documentary and Tenz just started
Thats the whole fucking point
You've got to give it to Shaz or whoever decided his role in Sentinels. They didn't force Sinatraa's role onto him but rather changed their game to match Tenz's style.
Honestly without shahz I wonder how tenz would be. I always hear that shahz tells him to not go to crazy and just play slow.
@@user-fm8jj4bo9l yup, tenz needs him to keep him from doing crazy stuff XD
@@Ankit-rk4hq yea but sometimes allows his crazy plays and tenZ doesn't disappoint
Shaz is such a goat, literally the mastermind behind it all
I mean you have arguably the best player in your region, why would you change his style. It was good letting tenz play his own, thats the only thing he can do since he literally played withh themfor the first time one day before the tournament
Cloud 9 = when he joined, pressure
Sentinels = chill casual pro players, no pressure
@@rustcapone thats one thing but when he also joined Cloud 9 Blue for valorant, they dont seem to have this "synergy"
@@solomon1453 Dawg , if you play in names like FAZE and cloud , you will get stressed , Faze, tribe and c9 have not gone all out in the Valo pro scene yet but very soon they will and then the competition will get even more tough. Valo is fairly young and it's only time when people will surpass Tenz , the process of surpassing is always there
@@Koldyuki ok
just like GUARD
im just saying that its better to have a team that you would consider as your friends.
l
@@solomon1453 That is true , but not in the world of eSports , although there are many teams with good friendship , most of the teams are arranged by big sponsors like Intel and Razor so you are not to choose , and bad for tenz that he didn't fit well with the team , which makes him a bad eSports player cause eSports is much more than just being good at the game , it's about team understanding and compromises , even now in valo everyone has to change for his play style and ne never changes for anyone else which is a bad teammate. A great player is always versatile
@@Koldyuki bro I know people will practice too but don’t you think tenz will practice aswell? If he takes vacation or something like that then yeah maybe but til the next 2 years no
I feel like when tenz signed with c9 he was under a lot of pressure against big names and was hella nervous. He went down a spiral hole with his mental and seeing c9's history they prob didnt not help at all. When valorant came in, he just played the game and didnt worry about competing or doing well so he popped off. mental is everything huh
So true.
As mentioned in the video, the main issue on c9 was more the attitude issues and playstyle clash. He didn't want to be a part of the system they had in mind, and it appears he would argue with them a lot (something he took pride in for some reason). This (along with the ridiculous price tag c9 had on him) led to him being blacklisted from most teams. His mentality was a huge part of his early career struggles.
nah bro people are just better in cs than valorant no lie, the skills in valorant added what's missing in TenZ's playstyle, playing aggressive without having as much punish as cs
@@hotdog05 yeah, i mean csgo is classic, but you can just fk around in valo and come back unscathed, talking about phoenix ult here, but no doubt he has skills
@@gokucrazy22 On top of Cloud9 being hot garbage, which is still the case to this day
Beating the score esports to it I see
Uh thescore esports has had the story of tenz for a long while now
@@Zenithpwr Not the rise fall and rise again tho
@@Biffy017 bruh
@@Zenithpwr dude sarcasm
Im waiting for another rise to do a vid too I guess 😂
man.. I love his story. the success, the fall and the ultimate rise again and now he's just an icon, a forever valorant icon. all my love goes to him, he didn't have it easy in his career but now he found his place. love the guy. and great video!
First time coming across one of your videos and this would not feel out of place as part of a Netflix series. Brilliantly edited and great storytelling. I'll be sticking around!
Fun fact, most of the best valorant players are csgo failures
csgo meta is hard to keep up its stressing even at semi pro level its a hassle, its very competitive, way less RNG aspect and most importantly it very team dependent while Valorant doesn't falls in any of this category, its a clone of CSGO with some new champion mechanics adapted from diff games I feel like Valorant is a mixture of alot of eSports Titles and most of the player base are casual scrubs unlike CSGO where most of the casual player bases are gone and only the veterans and pros are left still sticking to the game
hmm
i failed to keep up at csgo
@@user-he3kk7lf4f how does val have RnG, considering you compared it to CS:GO?
BrokenKraken valorant is rng unlike csgo like no spray pattern random bullets so its more inconsistent thats any team can beat each other

Arrivederci
"THIS IS HIS WORLD AND WE'RE JUST LIVING IN IT" and "FAKER, WHAT WAS THAT" are the iconic sentences of riot games
Whenever i'm feeling unmotivated I always come back to this video, not only cos tenz is my favourite but just love the fact even the best can start from the worst
Even without a pro team he'll have a excellent streaming career.
This is actually an incredibly well made video, honestly deserves way more attention! Keep it up!
Idk fam oddly similiar to theScore Esports
@@harunumbs This came out weeks before their video. Both are well made.
I meant like both of them have same style of editing n stuffs. Im not hating tho.
@@harunumbs you can't hate anyway as this video was out first lmfao
@@uhhMagus first. I didnt even hate him at all. Second I said the first thing, because his editing style similiar to theScore Esports.
hes so sweet and was always respectful. he deserves everything he finally got. iam so happy for him
Great content, Upcomer! I have not doubt that your channel will explode in the coming months. Keep it coming!

If you ever been a real fps gamer you will know how frustating to have an inconsistent gameplay
I have 1 inconsistent round and im already tilted
i have a horrible habit (ironically so does TenZ and a ton of other people) where if i miss one shot where i didnt flick hard enough ill just change my sens and fuck my muscle memory up
i dont think ive had a consistent sens since probably early 2018 in any game
Truuee it truly is frustrating. There are times that Im playing good, my aim is on point and so is my decision making and everything but there are also times that Im playing like a newbie
That's a part of the learning process though. There's no reason to get angry, mistakes and losses are where improvement is happening
That's a part of improving though, just like when it's your day, there will come a day where it's just not your day, for example one time I bottom fragged a game so hard and couldn't move on for a quite a bit, I decided to move on and practice the mistakes I hard at that time, inconsistent gameplay is a part of improvement, just learn from your mistakes and keep growing in order to prevent that from happening
Insanely well made video, gave me multiple chills throughout the vid
And now he's won another Masters after another dip in his career. Mr. Comeback you are going down in the FPS esports hall of fame. 🫡❤ The G.O.A.T.
This video caught my eyes and did not fail to meet my expectations, more so, it exceeded it. Well done, keep it up!
Fun fact the first clip he actually was playing on a wrong sensi his dpi was suppose to be 800 but he accidentally changed it to 1600
Ça change quoi ?
Not Fun Fact
@@axelgoutagneux9316 (desole si mon français n’est pas bien)
I think tenz was just so nervous coming into cs as such a highly spoken person
Damn, very good video,w as hooked from the beninging to the end. Felt like a hour to watch, but not in a bad way.
it’s impressive how he went from failure to success , he never gave up idk how but that’s what’s impressive good job tyson!
In 17:19 when you can see TenZ say "It's heavy! Ooh it's heavy!" it just feels so wholesome.
brooo why is this so underrated its so well made, good job for real I enjoyed it
keep it up!
"THIS IS HIS WORLD AND WERE JUST LIVING IN IT" props to the commentator for giving that iconic line
I really appreciate the effort of doing this video. You deserve the subs!
TenZ is so charismatic and talented. I'd be rooting for him in his growth journey
“You have to lose something good to get something better, this is the show of Tenz legacy”
This is the part of his rebuilding legacy and this is the only beginnings
those wls pfpic gave me nostalgia 😳
hello show drop dl i drop 3dl after ::))
He has no legacy Tenz just got lucky Csgo didnt die in Europa so ge doesnt have to play against the best aimers ever seen ontop of No competition from Korea . The dont play poor shooters at all .

I literally have 1k Ping while playing valorant bro
Why is this channel not blowing up? What amazing information and editing, really gave a me a feel on what TenZ's Esports life was about.
I loved it when Tenz was fighting against Dapr in CS, and now he’s playing with him in Val
TBH he always got his cracked aim on his side all along. Through all this ups and downs that guy keept practicing in aim lab for countless hours and just because beast. When you have that one strongest ability no matter if you fail at the start you will undoubtedly succeed later. And this guy is just unbelievable with it.
This is so frickin amazing. This video is all facts, the edits are sick, and it’s just altogether really well made gj.
this channel is so underrated. can’t believe you have only 5k, this video is so well-made
this is a really inspirational story of tenz. this shows true relisiency. This shows that you don't fail when you get knocked down. You fail when you don't get back up. Everyone should never give up on their dreams even if you fail, because failing is part of success. Truly a great story shown.
Watching this after the Sentinels' loss to Kru esports feels strange. I feel sorry for Tyson.
@P H not even close
I dont lol . You cant depend on tenz out gunning everybody when the other teams also level up there game . Its this Na thing to look good on the start but beeing to lazy to keep improveing and just realy on your aim . Thats just not how to stay on the top .
@@powerbang5812 If you werent insane at the first place then you cant fall you are right .
@@xythiera7255 shut up, if he does bad once it is not a fall, and he did insane every other time, even against envy in stage 3 at Berlin(he did better than yay).
Bros expect reality to be a fairy tale sometimes people take a loss calm down
Great vid...to compile all the content and clips from cs as well as valorant...your hardwork deserves a thumbs up.
Actually, it’s the rise, fall, rise, fall, and rise of tenz
DAmn this means he might fall again.
@@zephrine.9766 hes doing good rn so theres no way its gonna fall for a while
I mean rise (next csgo prodigy), fall (benched), rise (got into valorant), fall? (left c9), rise (subbed in to sentinels).. but Im unsure whether he will remain in sentinels for long. Does he even have a contract or did he just sub in this one tourney
@@ElZedLoL are you caught up in esports at all
@@ElZedLoL the fall? Was that he left comp val to do content creation cuz c9 sucked, then he got loaned by sentinels so they fully took over his contract until masters ended, but after sentinels won masters they just bought out tenz so now he’s permanently with sentinels. This happened like months ago bro
Great video very well put together!
I got goosebumps. I am not a viewer of valorant esport nor am I a fan of any players but now I am feeling so good idk why. Tenz would cry after watching this.
This is so well made!
These are the type of videos that'll start going viral in like 5-10 years time
see u in 2025😁
I mean it's pretty much there already
Nah its that low quality videos
Getting the video recommended after almost 2 years this comment seems Pretty relatable
I know this is late. Maybe a year late. But this has been my favourite video ever since it has came out. The editing was amazing and everything about this video is perfect. TenZ is an amazing player and i will always think about him to be the best in the world. Watching them lose over and over again is heartbreaking to see, but 2023 i expect great things. Not to get hopes high up, but i think they have all the potential to become the team they once were.
i agree man
Inshallah tenz will be mvp in 2023 atleast once
pretty sure he stole this video from The Score Esports
Hes NOT the world best
@@laranjanegociadora9877 fr, hes just overrated af. rn theres absolutely more players that better than him.
"This is his world, and we're just living in it!" Jesus best casting lines I've heard yet
"This is rocket league"
i seriously thought u had 4m instead of 4k subs. keep up ur content! super underrated man
You are very underrated and did a great job on this video.
"This is his world and we're just living in it" it hits hard damn
This was a really well made video!!! We love tyson!!!
I am just gonna call it a movie, this Movie was the greatest movie i have ever seen in my life i was a big fan of tenz and now im number 1 fan, never felt bored watching him play, watching his stream is like watching a highlight video of him playing he just never miss play i hope he continue streaming, making videos and playing for sentinels
this is an incredible video man
Video is well put together, keep it up buddy
I remember when I was watching Tenz in the CSGO days, he was born with that aim, and I was kind of sad to see that he fell from the game. But Im happy that he found a sit in sentinels.
Love this energy!
that first clip always gives me goosebumps
this was so well-made this is like youtube premium. you deserve more subs man wow
this is so cool like the music used, looking for their archived gameplays, the flow of the video, the media, even the commentary sounds so premium damn.
Very underrated channel keep up the good work man
Such a inspirational story and it makes me to upgrade my skills and too learn more about gaming. Although my parents doesn't support me on gaming i do know others parents aswell, But i would never ever give up on something i desire and my dream to be. I do what i want my life's decision will take me to my success. ✨
Tenz had to throw himself into Valorant, nobody wanted him on their team in csgo.There were clips of Astralis talking shit about him because he can't perform on the big stage
I think he would have become a god also in CS: GO. The aim mechanic works the same in both games, unlike the spray. However, TenZ dominated the Spray and tapped and heated to a level as high as it does in the Valorant, it's a matter of watching their CS GO warm-up videos so that your aim explodes your head. This kid has a gifted hand for shooters, and due to his age he was not valued as highly as he should have been in CS: GO, but without a doubt, he too would have come to dominate the competitive CSGO scene. This dude is insane bro
@@Natch819 Another thing to factor in is NA csgo is a joke and that you either have to be the very best or be jumping from stack to stack in lower tier 3 teams. Tenz no doubt was one the best aimers in na csgo, but he was thrown into tier 1 cs too early. Some people thrive in being thrown into the deep end straight away like Stewie2k, but others like tenz need more experience. Also too much pressure does take a toll on some people.
@@Natch819 no chance. Saw him play in cloud 9, not only was he toxic to his igl, he didn’t perform at all. In fact players like daps often outfragged him.
@@thawtayza1892 there was a segment of the video explaining that the reason he argued so much and didn’t perform as well as he could have was due to conflicting strategies and play styles that weren’t willing to change because of tenz. While it could’ve worked for the c9 team, it didn’t work for tenz at all and there was nothing he could do about it except argue and wait to be benched. It’s a good thing he did though or else he may have not accepted the sentinels invitation or even had an interest in valorant since he would’ve been focusing on his csgo career
@@solantir3243 that’s exactly why he’s so bad. He ISNT good enough to warrant the team to play around him but isn’t flexible enough to adapt his play style to his temanates’

this is such a great video I´ve already watched it 3 times.
don't even play valorant, still got everything in the video. Amzing story, storytelling, and overall production, keep it up!
This makes you see how much Tenz really appreciates and loves sentinels and what that meant for him
This video was very well edited and very entertaining.

Zombs blocking tenz’s face lmaoo
What is actually sad about TenZ is that he never labeled himself as "prodigy" or "the best" player. It's just people pushed their expectations to TenZ which pressured him I believe. And now it is happening again. Still, TenZ is the best player for me, no one can change that.
true, i hekkin love TenZ
You know what, this actually motivated me to actually play better. Thanks!
